JoeW Posted September 17, 2003 Report Share Posted September 17, 2003 I agree it's outrageous that you are without a contract for threeyears, that shouldn't happen. Has it actually been three years? I thought I saw a reference that it expired in 2001. Which would be 2+years. Which is it? JW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Baby Maker Posted September 18, 2003 Report Share Posted September 18, 2003 The Kearny Fire Department, Engine-3, helped a woman give birth to a baby boy last night. Congratulations to all the firefighters that helped deliver the baby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted September 19, 2003 Report Share Posted September 19, 2003 More reason why the EMS service should come under the supervision and command of the Fire Dept. What better public relations for a new contract than to save a life or see one come into this world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest_Guest Posted September 24, 2003 Report Share Posted September 24, 2003 Let's hear more, where's the proof? And what happened? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted September 24, 2003 Report Share Posted September 24, 2003 Here is a question. How does someone "openly" challenge the integrity of the negotiating unit or the process, and then not reveal a name? If you are so sure of yourself, certainly your name wouldn't hurt. Go ahead, come out of the closet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted September 24, 2003 Report Share Posted September 24, 2003 Let's hear more, where's the proof? And what happened? It is inappropriate to say anything @ this time. After the Town & the FMBA have voted on a settlement it passes on both ends it will be public record. Untill that time there should be nothing said from either party involved.

Guest Guest Posted September 24, 2003 Report Share Posted September 24, 2003 It seems that the whole thread is inappropriate, the agreement would be between the town and the fireman's union. And while anyone else can have an opinion on it, it really only matters if they are happy with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That might carry more weight if you had followed your own advice. Anonymously asking someone else to reveal himself?? I don't get it. JW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest1 Posted September 28, 2003 Report Share Posted September 28, 2003 What are the Firefighters giving up? Is it just for 24hr shifts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest1 Posted September 28, 2003 Report Share Posted September 28, 2003 Why would the Firefighters give up anything! They work hard and should get the same pay increases as the rest of the town such as the teachers, CS11, Police, town workers and also the Town of Kearny Administer got his pay increase!

Guest Guest 1 Posted September 29, 2003 Report Share Posted September 29, 2003 I agree. Fireman should get exactly the percentages that everyone else got which did not include 24 hr. shifts. Following your mentality, and everyone should be treated equally, then if the firemen get 24 hr. shifts, why not give 24 hr. shifts to all the employees. Now if they want something up and above what everyone else got, then be prepared to give something back in return for that special item no other town employee has been given. Get it. Pure logic.

It may be true in what you say if you only look at it one way. How about 24hr shift's given to the KFD for a job well done! Also I have heard that it is a benefit to the Town Of Kearny in the way of savings. So looking at it in a different light, The KFD should be commended for saving the Town Of Kearny $$$$$. By taking the 24hr shifts and just the same percentages that everyone else got. Thank's for bringing this light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Guest Posted October 6, 2003 Report Share Posted October 6, 2003 I missed something... what. if anything , is the KFD being asked to giveup? And if they are being asked for givebacks, is it to get the 24 hour shifts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted October 7, 2003 Report Share Posted October 7, 2003 The shore buddies will save thousands in commuting fees. They will give up almost anything for 24's. They still save. Only the locals will lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Simple Simon Posted October 7, 2003 Report Share Posted October 7, 2003 If one of the concerns of the 24 hr. shift schedule is that the commuters would save money, and the town residents employed by the town wouldn't save anything, then I propose the following. A property tax reduction for town employees remaining in town. This would encourage workers to stay in Kearny. However, the Mayor and Council will never go for this, then they would have to come up with the revenue lost by any reduction. Somehow, they think they EARNED this money (as opposed to being in charge of the money) !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDofLV Posted October 8, 2003 Report Share Posted October 8, 2003 A tax credit for living in town wouldn't be totally unheard of. I'm retired military living in Las Vegas, I get a tax credit each year that I can either apply to my property or vehicle taxes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
